I think there's even a Facebook group that's titled "Steve King is an Idiot" or something like that . I know a few people here in town who are part of that group. I've also read a lot of letters in state and local papers ranting against King, too.

But yeah, when you see how depressingly red this state went last November, it's hard to remember that sometimes.

I'm doing a bit of travelling just now and got talking to a couple from the US yesterday. They seemed quite nice and I asked them what they thought about Trump. They said he was doing well so far and the media are trying to destroy him with lies. These people seemed fairly intelligent! I can't help get the feeling there's many more Trump supporters out there and it's a bit of an echo chamber in here and on TV in general. I really can't believe decent people would back this guy though!

As an American, I don't know any intelligent people who support him. There's just been too much to discredit him already, not even counting the fact that he's trying to tear down democratic institutions.
